African art adventures kicking off at BMA Baltimore MuseumUpdate: new curator at the bma baltimore museum August 2012
Series includes bead project, filmsBy Adrienne Saunders Sun Staff November 14, 2003
For Clark, the project began with a grant to bring art into communities that
don't traditionally experience art. When she linked the history of the word
"bead" to an Old English word meaning "prayer," she combined
the idea of beaded artwork with prayer traditions to create the collaborative
art project. According to museum spokeswoman Kateri Harried, the BMA's African art
collection is composed of more than 2,000 pieces, including dance headdresses,
ritual art and textiles from sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Egypt . Copyright © 2003, The Baltimore Sun read also: BMA names Ky. professor to African art curator post
